Dizzee Rascal - Brand New Day lyrics
[Dizzee Rascal - Talking] Yo, MC's better start chattin about what's really happening Because if you ain't chatting about what's happening Where you living, what you talking about Cause you know and I know it's gonna be a hot summer And you know what it's gonna be an even hotter winter And I ain't even talking about the whether Dizzee Rascal, uh [Verse - 1] Looks like I'm losing friends there's a lot of hostility in my endz We used to argue always make enemy friends Now we settle disagreements with the skenz Looks like I'm losing mates there's a lot hostility near my gates We used to fight with kids from other estates Nine eight millimetres settle debates Looks like I'm losing site cause I'm looking at the future it ain't bright So I look out my window and pray every night I thank God for my friends but they ain't tight Looks like I'm losing hope cause I climb this mountain without rope But I know I'm the captain of my boat so I steadily sail and hope not to float [Chorus] But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect [Verse - 2] When we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now Like fighting for anything anytime and acting without a care and where And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now Like bank scams, street robbery, shotters plotters or H.M.P And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now Pregnant girls who think they love useless mans with no plans And when we ain't kids no more will it still be about what it is right now Cause negative signs just keep showing up Some of us beter just start growing up [Chorus] But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect [Verse - 3] When I look at my life I can't help but think Cause I could of resulted to d** and drink Everyday was the same as the day before But we where never quite sure of what's in store Every day I wake up I can't help but feel I'm certain of life I mean this is real Mad thoughts skip around my head like dance themes I know it's long to question but I need answers The who's, the what's, the how's, the when's, the why's You can at look in my face and see the pain in my eyes Tears ready to fall like the rain in the skies So hold back put my feet down and rise Cause guys want to test my words So I can't just cater for second or third Plus I know predators only go for the weak And that's long so I gotta stay strong, you get me [Chorus] But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day But it's a brand new day, new opportunities what can I say I plan to make my pay but put some away for a off key day Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect Demand collect, cash up front and direct Pay money pay respect don't insult my intellect
